Here's an early mix (from Cozy Powell's own collection) of Stargazer, off the Rainbow Rising album. It features an extended keyboard intro (cut from the final release) and a longer outro. This is taken from the album "Rising Rough Mix" (and is the most interesting track on it).

Rising was probably my favourite album back in 1977(76?) - I even transcribed the guitar parts in tablature. Then again, I was the first person in school with a copy - having discovered the joys of import record shops by this time. Local (Australian) release came 3-5 months later.

And, towards the end of that year, the band toured, and we all went to see them - rainbow-light, 1812 Overture drum-solo, guitar through the ceiling and all.

This is for Greg Squires - who may have got a copy of the first Rainbow album before me, and raved about it.

    Wow, I never knew this mix existed! I have a live show from the Rising tour, where Tony Carey played an extended keyboard intro to this song, but I never knew there was a studio version with something similiar (though this version is way shorter than the live one).

    I'm actually not surprised Blackmore went pop after this. I mean, where do you go from here? It's the top of the mountain...

    This is the final vocal track - only thing missing is the reverb. Great performance.
